It comes as no surprise then that MakeMHz, the company behind the excellent XboxHD+ HDMI mod, is keeping this tradition alive by announcing several new Xbox projects under the umbrella of Project Stellar. Before we go any farther, it is important to have some context about how HDMI mods typically work and how MakeMHz’s approach with the Xbox is different. While other consoles might have impressive soft-mods and even a few hardware tweaks that improve upon the original designs, it is possible to double the Xbox’s RAM pool and even install a more powerful CPU if you can get your hands on one. There are heaps of Component to HDMI convertors available but to find one that you know will fit inside the Xbox case and is said to provide a nice conversion is what really prompted me to ask for a nice pictorial.I can think of at least a few consoles that have been completely subsumed by homebrew and modding communities-the Dreamcast, PSP, and Wii all come to mind-but it still feels like the original Xbox modding community is in a league of its own. We are currently testing a collection of DSub to HDMI convertors so as to keep our older arcade games alive. We have found this out in the Arcades as we buy many new T.V.s a month because of damage, breakage etc and are having a hard time sourcing T.V.s with anything but HDMI connectors on them, (new arcade games use HDMI but our older games need a DSub connector). I was well aware this was not an Xbox hack to get HDMI out of the board and was an adapter mounted inside the machine, one look at the pictures confirms this point, however I believe it is important to see how Wrecklessk did his install and what part he used stems from the fact that I know the manufacturers of the current generation T.V.s are now phasing out composite, component and DSub connectors from there T.V.s and are supplying T.V.s only with HDMI connectors.
